Personnel

School personnel are classified into two groups: employees and unpaid volunteers. All paid individuals should have an NAD Educator ID with a role in your school. Educator IDs can be found on NAD Dashboard >User Manager.

Paid Employees

Anyone employed for regular service in a school (i.e., teacher aide, janitor, secretary) is a Local Conference employee and must be paid through the local conference even if they are fully funded by the school. Denominational policy, as well as state/provincial and federal laws, determines salary and benefits for employees.

Develop a simple, written job description for any prospective non-certificated employee. Seek counsel from the superintendent relative to procedures and criteria for developing the job description. Present the job description to the school board for review and approval.

Volunteers

Parents, retirees, and church members are the most common volunteers. Simple guidelines should be developed outlining the responsibilities of volunteers. Each volunteer must complete the Volunteer Ministry Information Form and Adventist Child Protection training. Contact your local conference office of education for policies regarding volunteers and required background checks.
